In an unprecedented blend of Italian architectural charm and Houston's natural beauty, a Houston couple has commissioned Robert A.M. Stern Architects, a New York-based firm, to design a sprawling 17,000-square-foot mansion that stands as a testament to luxury and detailed craftsmanship.

Named 'Adagio', after the Italian musical term for 'slow tempo', this exclusive residence is a homage to the couple's fond memories of Tuscany, now meticulously manifested above the serene Buffalo Bayou. The inception of 'Adagio' traces back to the couple's desire to recreate the tranquillity and elegance of Tuscan villas amidst the vibrant backdrop of Houston.
